[edit] Maferefun Shango!

Spanish. Has been on WP:PNT since 3 September. Transwikied to es:Maferefun Shango. Physchim62 12:10, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

Transfer from Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English

Spanish, reads a bit like a gaming article. Physchim62 08:11, 3 September 2005 (UTC)

It's about a supposedly saint-deity of nigeria. I personally have the feeling this is a hoax-joke so I'm not translating it. -- (☺drini♫|☎) 17:42, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

I would imagine it's for real. Shango is the name of an Orisha, a deity originating in West Africa, whose worship now forms part of Santeria and Candomble in South America. So there could be a need for articles about Shango, and other similar deities. But I think even to translate this would require more understanding of Santeria than I have.

Oops - just noticed there is an article already for Shango. Maybe some of this can be merged? Redlentil 08:42, 11 September 2005 (UTC)
